Non-comprehensive list of some my favorite Horizon Forbidden West fics: (in no particular order other than what my brain can come up with)

A/K surrender by januarys (honestly everything in this collection but the softness of this one gets me every time)

Speaking of soft, two others that just grab me by the heart and shake me around until autumn leaves fall to the ground:

A/K He Kindly Stopped for Me by dwtlc (see also the amazing art by HBB)

A/K Hold My Hand (You Just Might Drown) by Morgan_billy

A/N Bad Company by Nyxianthe (absolutely brilliant vamp fic that's mostly on canon with some impressive and surprising twists)

A/N Wheels In Motion by Her_Madjesty (excellent modern AU with Nil and the racers working at a MickeyD's and if you didn't realize it you need Nil saying to Tilda "Ma'am this is a McDonald's" in your life so go read this now)

A/K A Hand, A Hold by Alysvolatile (my first and possibly most favorite modern AU of this pair)

A/K Where the Blade Cuts the Deepest by EirianErisdar (still one of the best things I've ever read even though it kicked my heart like a football)

A/K Painted Souls by zyikic (soulmates, painting headcanons, what's not to love?)

A/K/F/N Fulfilled by darkonyxdreams (a kinktober offering that's hotter than the sun, chapters are tagged with kinks and warnings, some of it is dark so reader use your own discretion)

A/K Give It Time by poulticepurse (pain, anxiety, and trying to stay true to yourself - this fic will break your heart but there's light in the darkness and the ending is so worth it)

A/K I believe the world is burning to the ground (oh well, I guess we're gonna find out) by Slysupercorp (the Liz Lives! fic you never knew you needed)

A/K/N Glitter and Gore by poppypopp (Mob bosses! Strippers! Glitter! Serial Killers with ethics! Undercover cops! *slaps roof of fic* This baby has it all.)

A/K Secrets of the Forest by fogsblue (the fairytale AU you never knew you needed, this thing is softer than kitten bellies and ten times more adorable)

A/K To the Ends of the Earth by Yahnkehy (Rost Lives! Innocent yet worldly Aloy and Kotallo is sunk from the moment he lays eyes on the redhaired outlander *grins* I love everything about this fic)

A/K Sides of the Coin by InkPaint (a whole lotta sass, paint headcanons, Clawstriders named "Ozzy Clawsbourne", and the Gaia Gang on wingperson duties)

That is a ridiculous list and again by no means comprehensive, because this fandom is PROLIFIC. But if you're looking for a place to start, check out one of these as your preferences dictate and remember to check the tags!

Lol why is this so funny. They're full of shit

Kotallo: I belong with the chief and with the tribe

*5 secs later*

Kotallo: Chief, you good right? I'm leaving, you have 4 new and unexperienced marshals while in the middle of a civil war with Regalla but you're good to spare your more seasoned one to go after an outlander right?

---

Aloy: No one can help me, I'm doing this alone!! (x6)

*5 secs later*

Kotallo: Hey, can I come with you?

Aloy: omg YES. I'm glad you asked

Hiplet is a combination of Ballet and Hip-Hop, and it’s seriously STUNNING. Just watch dancers Camryn Taylor and Nia Lyons show off their truly impressive moves.

Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: [email protected], or you can click here.

When white people ask me, “So, what are you????”

It’s so funny that every nerdy straight dudebro I knew back in the day wanted to fuck Brie Larson when she was in Scott Pilgrim and now the same motherfuckers are out there acting like she’s personally ruining their lives because she isn’t playing a character that’s supposed to cater to conventional straight nerdy male sex fantasies.

I HAVE to laugh.

This feels important and maybe it’s something we should talk about more. I’ve seen some cis lesbians talking about it and I’ve seen more than a few young women proudly calling themselves “ex-libfems” (although nobody seriously identifies as a libfem) but no comprehensive accounts.

My own experience is that when radfems don’t know you are cis they will assume they are trans and start throwing abuse at you. When they know you are cis, that’s when the private messages asking for a “debate” and claiming to be interested in your viewpoint begin.

(Obviously it’d be cool if people add their own experiences)

(Image shows tweet by JN Wiedle that reads “there’s a lot of great discussion and focus on how white supremacists and MRAs prey on isolated/insecure boys/men on Reddit/4ch; I wish there was similar discussion & focus on how TERFs prey on isolated/insecure girls/women on tumblr”)
